This twenty-session Bible study allows us to get to know David by looking at the people and events that influenced him most.

Prayer is a way of living in response to God. There are no secrets to living the Christian life. No prerequisite attitudes. No conditions more or less favorable to pursuing the Way. Anyone can do this, from any place, starting at any time. But it is only possible through prayer. We can only pray our lives into the way of following Jesus. In Praying the Message of Jesus, Eugene H. Peterson has compiled the prayer-centered stories and teachings of Jesus from the Gospels of Matthew and John. Through 365 inspiring days of reading and reflection, you’ll deepen your relationship with God as you learn to speak with him daily and make prayer the foundation of your everyday life. Previously published as A Year with Jesus, but now with additional material.

Firsthand Experience. Time-tested wisdom. Experience Jesus'' life firsthand, the way John did as a young man, and benefit from his deep wisdom, gleaned from decades of following in Jesus'' footsteps. John was in his late teens or early twenties, wondering what his life would amount to, when he met Jesus. Within a few short years, he experienced the unforgettable events described in this book and considered what his life could be. When he finally wrote those events down, some sixty years later, he knew from experience the transformative power of Jesus'' Message, and he wanted to share it. As you read the Gospel of John, you''ll begin to see what Jesus could do in your own life. And as you hear Jesus'' words and see what he did, you''ll encounter the extravagant dimensions of God''s love.
